Feel good is necessary for our lives. Say the truth is correct and maybe
make you feel good. But, what I prefer?
One day, when I was 10, my pet, a gold fish, disappeared. For weeks I
didn´t understand, so like all Jung boy I ask my mom ¿why my little gold fish
have disappeared? My mom answer that he have go to my grandmother´s house. Obviously
all was a lie, my little gold fish, has died. I think that in the case of my
pet, my mom take a good decision of what she says. It was more important make
me feel good, than just say me the truth.
In other situation, when I was 15 years old, I remember that always I
call a new friend, that his name is Carlos, like Carli. Always when I call him
in public, Carliii!, he turn around and don´t answer me. One day that happen
the same, I ask him, What´s wrong whit you?, and he answer me that he hate that
people call him Carli. After that I never call him like Carli, and now we are
very good friends. But if he didn´t say me the truth, about he hate that, I
think that both, we didn´t feel good.
Say the truth or feel good, are both great thinks, it just depend in the
case you would use.
